Spiders 3D Blu-ray (2012) [Region Locked / Free] - Blu-ray Forum

I dug it. 3D was really good. Looked like a native 3D movie. If this was a conversion it's a damn fine one. This will be a guilty pleasure for me.....like Piranha (the first one) and Bait.

I loved this movie haha!

There were some light issues with the 3d rig where camera 1 would pickup a reflection camera 2 wasn't, but overall the 3d was very impressive. It reminded me of Drive Angry, I'm curious if they used the same cameras and / or setup. Lots of depth, some very heavy parallax - it amuses me that this movie has better 3d then the majority of blockbuster 3d films!

Movie wise, I was totally entertained. If you go into a direct to disc science fiction movie about alien spiders that came to earth on a Russian satellite expecting to see grammy award winning performances and heart filled tear jerking speeches, get out of town mac. This is good ol' fashion low budget fun, the acting was horrid, at least from the leading character. The military actions were funny as well, like watching dumb and dumber - Army addition. The effects and CGI were very well done! Very convincing! This is the type of popcorn flick you can throw in with friends over, and have a great time watching.

At 16.99 (Best Buy), this was a successful blind buy and what I would now call a no-brainer addition to the 3d collection . I had read this may be the first in a few more 3D Syfy movies to come from this particular director, I hope they keep it coming!

Edit:

Spiders 3D: Silicon Imaging 2K Cameras

Drive Angry 3D:Silicon imaging Sl-2K Cameras

I do not know enough about 3D camera rigs or types to confirm this, but I was able to dig up the information above on the rigs used for each film - the 3D in this film is so comparable to the 3D in Drive Angry, to the parallax to the look of it to the reflective lighting problems, if I had to give a quality comparison that would be it.

If you enjoy the so bad/stupid their good type movies like Bait 3D, Spiders 3D, Shark Night 3D and Drive Angry 3D you should make no hesitations in picking up Amphibious 3D. It is king of the so bad their good 3D movies. This is 100% party movie kind of dumb fun. The first three minuets are converted into 3D but the rest of the movie is filmed in 3D. Plenty of pop out shots and strong 3D shots with layering out of the screen. The 3D isn't strong all the way through but still stronger overall than the four other films I first mentioned. I think you will have to import a copy from Europe or Asia if you want it?

can anyone confirm that based on personal experience? i know the site says A and B, but everywhere else I've looked says B only for this version.

how violent is it? closer to syfy fare or closer to yuzna's older stuff?
